Chapter 290: Freedom to choose one's job

In the factory area of Linyi Machine, there is a site separated by an iron fence, which includes two office buildings and a garden in the style of Jiangnan garden. This site is the office area specially vacated by Linyi Machine for the use of Canglong Research Institute.

Canglong Research Institute is jointly established by 20 large-scale machine tool enterprises of "Machine 20". Due to the fact that Linyi Machine contributed the most in the process of the establishment of the Institute, and also contributed to the lucrative design of the household mini combination machine tool as the cash cow of the Institute, the remaining 19 machine tool factories had to agree to the motion put forward by the Linyi Machine, that is, the headquarters of the Canglong Research Institute was set up in Linhe City, and the Linyi Machine contributed this site to house the Research Institute.

The benefits of which company the institute is located next to are very obvious to this company. The researchers of the institute come from various enterprises, which is equivalent to everyone working together to establish a high-level think tank. If you have any technical problems, you can find the engineers of the research institute for help at any time, which is a very considerable dividend. In contrast, it is very difficult for other companies to get such technical support.

In addition to the office space, Linyi also provides dormitories for engineers sent from all over the world, with a separate room for each person, a bathroom and 24-hour hot water, which is also considered a luxury configuration in this era. In addition to three meals a day, if the engineers need it, the expert stove can also provide them with a variety of flavors of supper at any time, and the price is so cheap that people can't wait to bring a family to enjoy.

Although the slogan of "respect for knowledge and talent" has been shouted in state-owned enterprises for more than ten years, engineers really have not received any special preferential treatment in their original factories, and because these people are often not tactful enough, they suffer far more losses in the factory than when they take advantage.

Such a group of bitter sour talents, but when they arrived at Linhe, they were treated as guests, this feeling can be imagined. Sometimes the factory of Linyi machine came to invite people to the workshop to help solve some technical problems, although everyone knew that this was not their own work, but they had no complaints, but felt that there was an opportunity to help Linyi machine do some work, which was their supreme honor.

By the way, when Director Xiao Tang instructed the Linyi Machine Factory Office to treat these foreign engineers well, he had the idea of winning people's hearts.

At this moment, in the corner of the garden outside the office building, two men were sitting on stone chairs in the gazebo, smoking cigarettes and discussing things in a whisper.

"Guan Gong, do you think it's better for me to go to the Dyeno Company or stay here?"

The speaker was in his 40s, wearing nearsighted glasses, and at first glance he looked like a tech nerd. He frowned, as if he had a heavy mind, and he smoked very hard, which is what it means to turn depression into addiction.

This person's name is Shao Sibo, from Chutian Province Fengmei Machine Tool Factory, is a very talented machine tool engineer. More than a week ago, he was introduced by a friend to meet He Ji'an, who claimed to represent the Japanese Someno Machine Tool Company. He Ji'an promised him a salary three times his current salary level, and asked him to jump ship to the Someno Machine Tool Research Institute. Shao Sibo did not agree at the time, saying that he would consider it, but in fact he was extremely tempted.

Triple the salary is a temptation that is hard to refuse, but Shao Sibo also has some things that he can't give up, including his position at Maple Machine Tool Factory, his qualifications, and some of the design work he is doing.

According to Shao Sibo's idea, even if he wants to change jobs, he will have to wait a few more months, first, to complete the work at hand, so that he can have an explanation for himself and the Canglong Research Institute, and secondly, he wants to wait and see, and even contact other foreign companies to compare the conditions.

I never thought that yesterday the institute suddenly held a general meeting of all staff, after the president Sun Min made a simple speech, the executive deputy director of Linyi Machine, but also the secretary general of the 20 secretariat of the machine Tang Zifeng stepped on the podium and said something stunned to everyone.

Tang Zifeng first broke a secret hidden in the research institute, that is, some engineers have been in contact with the people of the Someno Machine Tool Research Institute in private, and not only did they move their own minds to change jobs, but also made a lot of demagoguery in the research institute, creating a lot of unstable factors.

Hearing this, Shao Sibo and the other engineers who had met with He Ji'an were a little embarrassed and even panicked, and they didn't know how Tang Zifeng planned to deal with this matter. Although these people are not the employees of Linyi Machine, but the various enterprises of Machine 20 are in the same spirit, in case Tang Zifeng proposes a plan to the leaders of their respective units, the leaders may also accept it.

All of us have worked in state-owned enterprises for more than ten or twenty years, and naturally have some fear of "units." Even if they have already thought about changing jobs, everyone hopes to break up with the unit peacefully, and they don't want to cause trouble. You must know that large state-owned enterprises such as Linyi Machine and Fengmei Machine Tool have a lot of energy, and everyone is a little lacking in confidence when they are enemies of such behemoths.

Tang Zifeng's words behind surprised everyone. He said that now is the era of market economy, everyone has the freedom to choose a job, he on behalf of the Linyi machine factory, announced that there is no restriction on the engineers who want to jump jobs to go to the Japanese-funded enterprises, and even the engineers have paid money to buy the housing in the family area of the Linyi machine, the factory will not take back, but if these people want to continue to live, they will not be able to enjoy free property services, and need to pay a certain amount of property management fees on time. The standard of property management fee is not high, so it is not a difficult clause.

Tang Zifeng also said that engineers from other enterprises have no right to make any commitments for their units, but he will use the machine 20 mechanism to appeal to the factories, hoping that the factories will follow the practice of the machine and not be embarrassed to defect to the "free" engineers.

Just when everyone was rejoicing and ready to give Tang Zifeng a thunderous applause, Tang Zifeng changed his words and began to show his fangs:

First, all engineers who want to leave the Canglong Research Institute must apply and complete the handover within one week from now on.

Second, engineers who do not apply within a week are deemed unwilling to leave, and all those who remain must sign a service agreement with the Institute, the most important of which is the non-compete clause, that is, from now on, any engineer who resigns from the Institute will not be allowed to engage in the same kind of work for three years after leaving the Institute, and violators will face imprisonment.

"Director Tang, there's no need for this!"

Before Tang Zifeng finished speaking, some people in the audience questioned it. The speaker's words were quite tactful, but everyone understood that he meant that he could not accept such conditions.

"If you don't want to sign, of course, you can not sign. Tang Zifeng smiled brightly, "But the treatment may be reduced accordingly, and in addition, we dare not entrust these comrades to undertake the topics that are important to the research institute." ”

The man who questioned wanted to argue about something, but when he looked around, he found that he could not find a few Confederates. Among the engineers, a considerable number of people are already relatively old and do not have many opportunities to change jobs, so it makes no difference to them whether to sign a non-compete agreement.

There are also some people who have the intention of changing jobs, and they don't want to come out to be the first bird at this time, and they are really hidden by the research institute, unable to participate in key projects, and have no capital if they want to change jobs in the future, which is obviously irrational. As for whether you can change jobs after signing the non-compete clause, you might as well wait and see, what if the policy changes again in a few years? What if the hairy boy on the podium is transferred?

Holding down the person who picks the thorns, Tang Zifeng then talked about three, four, five or six points, and the overall meaning is to tie the fence tightly to avoid being pried into the corner of the wall again. Of course, he also said a lot of positive things, describing a bright prospect to them, and he almost said the classic slogan "Follow me to eat meat".

At the venue, in front of Tang Zifeng, the vast majority of people remained silent, and gave polite applause after Tang Zifeng finished speaking. But as soon as they came out of the venue, everyone blew up, and people who wanted to change jobs or didn't want to change jobs began to complain loudly, the former was complaining that the research institute did not give everyone freedom, and the latter claimed that the research institute's move hurt their feelings:

We have dedicated our lives to the system, and the organization actually distrusts us so much, what kind of non-compete agreement do we have to sign, and our loyalty needs to be bound by the agreement?

Among these engineers, there are also some young and virtuous people, who dare to slap the table with the factory director in their respective factories. So, these people went to Sun Min's office to slap the table, and some people went to the technical department of Linyi Machine to find Qin Zhongnian to complain, and the words were all about saying that the young factory director of Linyi Machine was too arrogant, and he used to think that this young corporal Lixian was quite ancient, but it turned out to be such a person.

Sun Min and Qin Zhongnian had to do everything they could to appease them, and they also revealed to these people that the research institute was discussing the issue of wage reform, and signing a non-compete agreement was just a means to raise wages in disguise. Anyway, you don't plan to leave, sign it, and you can get an extra hundred yuan in non-compete compensation every month, why not?

When these people got the news, they all said angrily, since the matter has come to this, forget it, they don't care if they are compensated or not, they mainly want to give Director Xiao Tang a face. Young people, sometimes it's understandable that they don't think about it well, and when they are old, they don't care about him.

By the way, by the way, what is the compensation for this, since when is it calculated?
